Hundreds of Australian Salmon Washed Up Dead On The 90 Mile Beach Australia

[SteveOutside]

The EPA have just confirmed.. Nothing to do with environmental factors, such as weather, oil spill, disease etc.
They are referring back to Fisheries to continue lines of enquiry re fish dumping.

Food supply under attack by these sickos

Dear Steve,
as a child in 1957 or 58, I saw such an event while it happened. At paradise beach, while my grandfather was fishing, there was frantic fish activity between the shoreline and the sandbar, which could be reached by wading out at low tide; there was a mako shark going up and down the trough, so my grandmother hoisted up her skirts and was throwing salmon caught in her hands over her shoulder onto the sand: she needn't have bothered, as the salmon were soon throwing themselves onto the beach. I have never seen the like before or since.

This needs to be investigated wether from disease, gamma interence or unhumane marine sabotage. Must share as this is one of the most unique marine biodiveristy

[vtgaming]

Are people aware that hundreds of thousands of other fish are killed and thrown out when trawlers are hunting for prawns etc, theyre usually dead before they even reach the boat, 3 hours spent getting dragged around in a net full of fish does that

[Retiredroamers]

It is probably bycatch dumped off the biggest fishing boat in East Gippsland, seen it before Steve in the 90s with Sand Whiting 6” deep 40 m wide along Eastern Beach in Lakes Entrance. We were surf fishing and there was the biggest fishing boat 100 m behind the sand bar trawling along, next morning all the fish were washed up on the foreshore.

Trawlers!!. Notice the only one species along the shore. Poor penguin got caught in the mix. Sad man. 👎

[SideWinder]

Its strange how these phenomenon target a single species of fish.
100% Fishing trawler dumping bi-catch. Not some natural disaster. If it was a natural disaster all species of fish would be effected not just one. As a lesser price per kg fish they dump their haul to make way for better catches to maximise their money income. A few years back we had yellow tail scad washed up on the shore line in port phillip bay. We were in the process of removing the liences for netters in our bay at the time.

About 15 years ago the Loch Sport beach was covered in large dead salmon like this but many more salmon, when that same trawler mentioned came too close to shore, nets out and full of salmon. They got stuck on the sandbar right close in with the trawler sitting on top of the nets full of fish. Ship was towed off by another trawler at high tide next day, many of us walked a few klms up the beach to view it, plenty of photos taken by others, but I didn't have a camera with me. So many fish, so many birds with full stomachs, so many dead rotting, stinking salmon. Took several weeks for the mess and stench to clear.

I’d say trawler guys. Why would they fill their kill tanks with salmon at $10/kg when they could fill up with flathead or gummy at $30/kg. Also coincides with a week long strong easterly wind blowing straight onshore.

Red rapist or Red Barron, fishing trawler caught to much and try and release happened before, and will again, waste really

[backtoeden]

What about geomagnetic stress? from Australis lights over the past week?

[noahmadaffari]

Hey Steve if fisheries get back to you or you discover for sure what it was I would love to know via another video or a reply?!!! Very strange

I was camping out at Golden Beach (90 Mile Beach) on Saturday 11th of May, 2024. While in my swag I jolted awake at about 3am (Sunday Morning) to what I thought I heard was bombing.. As I jolted awake I asked my partner who was next to me if she could hear that, her response was "Hear what?". The sound started to blend in with the waves and I was unsure if my senses were just heightened as I felt I was in a delirious state. I ended up going back to sleep - Monday morning these Salmon were as in the video - washed up onto shore as far as the eye could see. I could even see plenty of dead salmon floating in the waves. No visible sign of why they were dead, no physical damages.

This is from a post in 2018 when a similar event happened. This is what it said :The seismic testing is to look into storing carbon in the empty gas wells, from 800m to 7km offshore from Golden Beach. The sonic booms are every 7 seconds and apparently enough to kill someone if they're beneath the water line

[DCATUBE]

Similar thing happening on the coast of Bribie Island Qld, thousands of dead young whitting. We have had so much rain the internal lakes are draining into the ocean with tannon and killing the fish.

[krispycool]

and where are the massive number of seagulls you would expect to see feeding on them?

[mtilford]

Is this at South Australia's 90 mile beach, by the Coorong?

[anti-antianti-anti]

We just had an algal bloom caused by an upwelling event (Bonny current/upwelling) off the coast of eastern Vic and most of S.A. This caused quite a lot of dead marine critters to wash up along the Coorong, fish, seals, first time I'd seen a dead baby dolphin. Is this the same area or are you over at Lakes entrance?

[michaeloelofsen]

Why are there no birds feeding on the fish?
